General Policies

ATTENDANCE

• Not all class learning is/can be evaluated by an exam. Your interaction with both your instructor and other students during class is critical to both your learning and to your growth as a professional.

• The instructor takes attendance each class period and records it in Blackboard. This is both for your information and the instructor’s. This course is a rigorous course and each class session builds on what was learned in the previous session so attendance is extremely important.

• Students will be responsible for all material covered in the class (including syllabus changes) whether or not they are present.

LATE and MAKE-UP WORK

• All assignments are due as announced.

• No late assignments will be accepted and no make-up exams will be given.

• Personal emergencies will be handled on an individual basis. If absent for a verifiable emergency, you must contact the instructor before the next class meeting.

ACADEMIC (DIS)HONESTY POLICY

Academic honesty and integrity are highly valued in our campus community. Academic honesty directly concerns ethical behaviors which affect both the academic environment and the civic community. Academic dishonestly seriously violates the integrity of the academic enterprise and will not be tolerated at St. Scholastica. The full text of the CSS Academic Honesty Policy is found in the Student Handbook or online at http://www.css.edu/Academics/Office-of-Academic-Affairs/Academic-Honesty-Policy.html

EQUAL ACCESS and Accommodations

Students with disabilities, chronic medical conditions, and/or injury from active military service are entitled to appropriate and reasonable accommodations and auxiliary aids through The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  It is the student's responsibility to notify the Center for Equal Access as soon as possible to ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.  For more information or to begin the process of obtaining accommodations, please check out The Center for Equal Access on my.css or email [email protected].

Required Reporting & Confidential Resources

The College of St. Scholastica values its ability to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory educational environment for students.  Faculty and staff are required to report any misconduct including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking; as well as any discrimination, harassment or bias of a protected class.  

Generally, academic/classroom writing assignments, disclosures in climate surveys, discussions, human subjects research, or at events such as “Take Back the Night” marches or speak-outs are not instances that require a report to Equal Opportunity Compliance/Title IX.  All other instances (email communications, meetings, etc.) fall under the required reporting.  

To report any violations of the Equal Opportunity and Nondiscrimination Policy go to the online report form or search report form in my.css, the Title IX webpage, Violence Intervention and Prevention, or the Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.  For additional information, contact Melissa Watschke, Equal Opportunity Compliance Manager/Title IX Coordinator at [email protected]
